DOUBLE-TREE 01.19.,

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 301,509, dated July 8, 1884.

Application filed Jannary 28,1884. No model.)

which Letters Patent No. 2463M were issued to me on the 30th of August, 1881.

The present invention is especially adapted for horse-cars which have a draw-bar which is'intended to enter the jaws of the clip, and a pin passed through all, holding them together.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a side View of my device, the bolts and pins being removed. Fig. 2 is a side view with all parts in place.

In detaihc is the clip-,band'which clasps the tree 1, and Z) is the bolt,whicl1 passes through openings shownin dotted lines in Fig. land holds the clip firmly to the tree.

In Fig. d is the draw-bar of the car,whi ch enters the mouth of jawsjj, and p is a pin which couples the draw-bar and jaws of the clip together.

The piece shown in Fig. 1 is preferably made of malleable iron and cast in one piece, and has some elasticity, so that when the bolt b is removed the clip will fly open and the tree may easily be taken out.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The clip 0, having jaws jj,with openings for bolt 1) and pin 19, in combination with such bolt and pin and tree 1, substantially as described. I

2. The clip 6, having jawsjj,with holes for boltb and pin 11, in combination with such bolt and pin, the tree i, and draw-bar (1, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereto set my hand this 15th day of January, 1884.
